im sick and tired of people acting better than the other its retarded people need to wise up and learn that ranks and belts dont mean anything... i mean for instance a man can be 5th dan and only earn it by playing the match it has nothing to do with skills now everybody thinks belt is everything but its not am i right?

ur right i hate when nubz r liek "omg dude holy shit ur a 4th dan!!!!!!!!11111111121211!@" or "OMG DUDE UR RANK IS 39 OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THAT IS SO 1337!!!1!!"


HEAR ME NUBZ RANK AND BELT DO NOT MATTER ITS THE ITEMS jk ITS THE SKILL!!

Naturaly you get better when you play more times, but a white-belt with skills can beat a noob masterbelt .-.

There's already a torinews article about this written by stonewall. I think due credit should be given out in this thread. (my 2 cents)

well hitman. People have been saying this for a while. It wasn't Stonewall who said it first. (even though it was a good articale)

Coming from a 10 dan who:
last week had 2 days in a row of rank 3, has had 2 days in a row of rank 2, and has had 3 days in a row of rank 5;

Rank and belt means absolutely NOTHING. Even though I sometimes ave good ranks, and I am high belt, I will admit they don't mean a thing. Those ranks can be easily obtained through some decent streaks on a day where much of the community was inactive. And also, the belt isn't wins, it plays. Sure you get better with experience, but it still doesn't mean much. There are some people of my belt who are incredible, there are some people who, to be perfectly honest, play like a blue belt...

Also, some people might be incredible at one mode, like wushu, but terrible at another, like judo. So that's another reason you really can't say based on belt; depends on the mode and their specialties.

Umm you can't judge skill by belt. So you can't say that they play like a blue belt.

They play like they have the experience of a blue belt is what I should have said. They have 10k-15k matches, yet they play like you would expect someone with 100-500 matches to play. That clarify my statements a bit?

Somebody can't count...

But i blue belt doesnt mean bad. It can be a good blue belt. There is no medium for this. Either use belt as description or not.

What do you mean belts don't mean anything? Of course they do. You expect me to be as skilled as any other belt? I'm as skilled as my belt says I am. I r teh mast0r! (except wushu) Ranks also mean stuff too. I don't get my rank <50 for absolutely no reason..
